There is too much hard evidence Shakespeare existed, a will written by him, a wife, kids, a house, a clear enough chronology of where he existed which is not erratic, something that would probably exist if Shakespeare was a pen name. There is speculation that he was gay because he leaves his second best bed to his wife, which put in context of the times makes perfect sense as the best bed belonged to the guest of the house. Even if Shakespeare never wrote anything there would still be a "greatest writer of all time" and it would have probably been John Milton who would also have an air of mystery to him, people would say did he really write "Paradise Lost"? I mean the guy was blind.
